MIXED VEGETABLE STIR FRY
The secret of the spellbinding success of this dish is the choice of vegetables for color, flavor and texture. Bright orange carrots, dark green spears of asparagus, yellow crook-neck squash, pearly white onions, the cool green of celery and vibrant red tomatoes are tossed together in a sweet 'n sour sauce, laced with garlic.

Steps:
- Peel and process garlic with vinegar in blender jar until finely chopped. Add soy sauce, catsup, bouillon cube and spice; blend smooth.
- Prepare all vegetables, cutting each vegetable in uniform-size pieces and keeping each separate. Trim, pare and cut carrots in half lengthwise. (If large carrots are used, cut in quarters or 1/4-inch thick diagonal slices.) Peel and cut onion in 8 wedges. Trim asparagus, peel stalks and cut into 3 1/2-inch lengths. Trim and cut squash in half lengthwise. (If only larger squash are available, use 2 and cut in quarters or thick slices.) Cut celery in 1/4-inch thick diagonal slices. Cut tomato into 8 wedges.
- Heat oil in wok or large skillet over high heat until oil ripples when pan is tilted from side to side. Add carrots and stir-fry 2 minutes, turning with broad spatula so carrots are coated with oil. Add onion wedges and fry 1 minute. Add asparagus, stir to coat with oil and add 1 tablespoon water. Cover at once with tight fitting lid and steam 3 minutes. Uncover, add squash, celery and remaining tablespoon water. Cover and steam 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Stir in tomato wedges and garlic sauce and cook, covered, 1 minute. Serve at once.
